My story

Building an intentional career — and helping others do the same

I'm a career coach and mentor for professionals in tech and engineering. My career has taken me through some of the most complex, high-stakes organizations in the world — Apple, Boeing, Cisco, Raytheon — and it didn't happen by accident.

I earned a B.S. in Engineering and an MBA, then spent 15+ years building an intentional path from individual contributor to senior leader. Along the way I hired thousands of people, managed teams of 50+, spoke in front of rooms of 200 executives, led multi-million dollar programs, and grew my own salary by over 500%. I learned — sometimes the hard way — what separates people who advance from people who stall.

Now I use everything I learned to shorten the learning curve for the people I coach. Whether you're trying to land your next role, lead a team more effectively, or figure out what you actually want from your career — I can help you get there faster and with more clarity than I had.

I believe careers are built, not found. With the right strategy, self-knowledge, and support, you can build one that's genuinely yours.

What I believe

The principles behind the work

Intentionality over drift

Most people let their careers happen to them. The best careers are designed — with clarity about what you want and a strategy to get there.

Experience over theory

I coach from 15+ years inside the organizations you want to work in. Every recommendation I give is grounded in what I've actually seen work.

Honesty over comfort

I'll tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. That's the only way real growth happens — and it's what you deserve from a coach.
